Recreation For Women.

The woman whose mind never goes
beyond housework can not be that
companionable wife that she ought to
be to her hus band, nor the guiding
mother that she ought to be to her
children. Some housewives seem to
have no higher ambition than that Of
being clean house to their families.
The warfare is carried on with cease.
less scrub. and rub, and wipe, and
wash until it is a wonder that the de-
triton does not use up the furniture
and utensil, indeed, the whole interior
OF the house. 1t is an actual necessity
for their well.being that housokeepers
should have some time set apart for
recreation, and more particularly
should this be the case with those wom-
en- who are merely housekeeping ma
chimes. Good Housekeeping.

"And then they have such ways OF
KILN time! They had game they
called lawn tennis. l couldn't make
head nor tail out of it; but the fellows
and gals, specially the gals. were just
crazy to be at it all the time.
"There isn't much to the game, 50
far as l can see. All they do is to
knock ball to and fro. The principal
feature of the game, S near as l can
make out, was to rig up in the OUT
landishest things they could lay their
hands on. and the consequence was
that the gals were dressed in all the
colors of the rainbow and as near like
men as they dared to. The iellers were
generally clothed in white flannel and
profuse perspiration. And you'd
oughter seen them gals kick up their
heels! 1t was positively disgraceful,
and it made me feel shame-faced
enough to look at them. But they
didn't seem to mind it, notwithstanding
a whole piazza full of men were lookin'
at them.
They didn't have no good place to
play and they didn't have nothing to
play with. Some fishermen had hung
their nets up to dry right across the
field, and it bothered the players
awfully, and the balls-thcy played
with two of 'em--kept getcin' foul o
the net, and though they didn't say
uothin', ] could see they were mad
enough inside. And they didn't have
any real bats, so they had got hold Of
some old snowshoes somewhere and
used them instead They made pretty
good bats. however, codsiderin'. and
perhaps the novelty of the thing was
more than half the fun.
Bat guess, after all, the principal
fun was the flirting that was goin' on
all the time. Ny! but they did go it
awful strong! There was May Smith;
she was in it as hot as the best of them,
and l heard her and feller she hadn't
known more n ten minutes talking as
glibly of love as an engaged couple.
1t just made my dander rise to hear
'em, and said to myself: i guess
your mother would put q flea in your
ear, young woman, if she was here
'Td like to catch a gal O. mine romp-
ing round with lot o feIlers and
making love before all the world in
that brazen fashion! I guess she'd
never hear the last of it!
But you'd ough' er seen 'em.
There's May Smith, for instance.
When she's at home she's so weak sho
can't lift dsh-rag, and I really be.
lieve she'd faint dead away il
you'd ask her to sweep floor.
But there she romped and raced the
whole afternoon and way after dark,
and she didn't seem to be tuckered
when she got through; and reckon
twas mighty sight harder work than
she d ever been asked to do at home.
guess, however. that they were all so
much taken up with their firtin' that
hey didn't have time to feel tired.
reckon they were stiff enough next
mornin'.
'.But it beats all how young folks
10 go on nowadays. When l was
young we used to have our kissin'
games, such as piller and roll the
over. They was innocent enough
md didn't mean nothin'. I guess
we'd heard from it if we'd went a.
'acing around the green with par
,el o fellers talkin' about love and
uch things, right in the face and eyes
